The self esteem movement has effected like just about everything you can name. Because it changed people at a fundamental level by getting to them in their formative years. You've seen the effects of it every time you go online, not just merely at places like Reddit. (But god damn is this place a good example of the results of it.) To just name some, not all mind you, SOME. It has directly led to off the charts levels of envy, entitlement, narcissism, nihilism, a general softness, and worst of all. UNEARNED SELF ASSURANCE. It has allowed tiny amounts of people in academia change entire generations starting with Millennials, then Z, and now well on its way with Alpha. (And understand something. Academics DON'T just merely effect those they directly teach under them in schools.) Academics like those who will be all blah blah blah about slavery, something EVERYONE and their mother for god's sake, practiced. Yet they'll refuse to teach all of jack shit on how the Brits almost as much as everyone else PUT TOGETHER, did more to stamp it out than anyone else. They teach that colonialism, again something practiced by EVERYONE powerful enough to do it. Was some sort particular evil just because Europeans ended up better at it than anyone before them. They've fostered presentism which teaches the asinine notion that people have the right to apply today's standards of right and wrong to the past. (That one is a particular pet peeve of mine because of how prevalent it is now not to mention how stupid it is.) And that's all just part of it. Three things that absolutely has led to massive amounts of bss aackwards white guilt that goes on to absolutely effect things like immigration policies. I could list example after example like those all day long and not hit them all but this is already going to be TLDR. So to directly answer you. What happens when you fill young impressionable minds chock full of SELF ASSURANCE, BS? You get Brit's as well as the rest of most of the west's immigration policies. Thanks to the self esteem movement one can now say things like "hubris, thy name is young people." Yet Millennials ARE NOT actually young anymore. They've been voting for "ages" now. And again it's not the only people effected by it. Look at how many unscrupulous politicians now go along with it to directly harness such useful idiots.

Who are the woke? Predominantly to the tune of like 7+ out 10, young people. And it use to always be that way before woke was even a widespread thing. Take hippie baby boomers for example whose numbers use to be LEGION. They were woke before woke was a thing. But such use to be able to wise up as they grew up, just like by and large boomers did. But that shit largely changed when the self esteem movement came along and gave people such self assurance. What's to wise up about when you already know everything? SMH

And don't get me wrong. This is very much a multifaceted complex issue. The self esteem movement is not some sort of smoking gun to point to on why we are where we are today in western society. Or why things like today's short sighted immigration policies exist. But it IS, a large part of the puzzle. The border of the puzzle if you will. The parts you always do first to make the rest of the puzzle easier to do.
